Nikita Chibrikov and Josh Morrissey scored for Winnipeg while Connor Hellebuyck stopped 33 shots as the Jets have now lost eight straight regular season contests against Vegas.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck saves the backhander from Vegas Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl during first period NHL action in Winnipeg, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/John Woods.Vegas tied the game with less than two minutes to go in regulation before winning in overtime, a 3-2 decision that extends their regular-season win streak over the Jets to eight games.
It was one of just four shots the Jets got on goal in the opening 20 minutes as Winnipeg was under duress for much of the period. Connor Hellebuyck made sure the Jets held onto the 1-0 lead as he turned aside 12 shots in the frame.Just over two minutes into the second, Neal Pionk was called for hooking Pavel Dorofeyev but he may have saved a goal in the process as it prevented the Vegas winger from getting a stick on a rebound that could have been knocked into an open net.
But Winnipeg wrestled the lead back with 9:05 to go. Mark Scheifele carried the puck into the Vegas end at the end of a shift and offered a fairly ineffective drop pass that Alex Iafallo had to work hard to get to before Vegas did. He knocked it back to the point where Dylan DeMelo sent a cross-ice pass to Josh Morrissey, who stepped in and blasted a shot that took the slightest of deflections off the stick of Zach Whitecloud and over the shoulder of Hill.
Winnipeg had possession of the puck for the bulk of OT, though they managed just one shot on net before a poorly executed line change doomed them.
